914 F8:
Here are some photos of the 914-8 with the factory908 engine installed tight fit. Nice car: it has a lot of extra goodies that make it unique. Headlights are two light per side. I like the outside fuel filler cap, I did the same thing on my 914, it beats opening the trunk every time for gas. Also the gear shifter rod runs in front of the passenger seat out towards the door and then runs back to the trans. If any ones has any more photos that would be great to see them.

Two things:
The top drawing, plan view seems to show that the engine fits between the rear suspension inner ears. I'm pretty sure the cams are driven by a train of gears all in the same plane. We can clearly see how the 917 cams are driven on the site that covers that engine, and I suppose that some of the same parts were used on the 8 cylinders. Michel |
